On the 1st of November, last year, we held a special service for All Saints Day at St.Mary's Church, High Pavement, Nottingham when we remembered those who have departed this life during the last year. The service began at 11.30 am. The names of people we especially remembered were read out, and at 12.00 o'clock we lit the TocH Lamp.
If anyone has particular friends or relative they would like us to remember on the same day this year, we would be pleased to have their names - and we will remember them wherever we happen to be.
we would be pleased to hear from you if you would like to join in.
